Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both sides are given, set both sides equal to eachother.

3x + 1 = 5x - 9

Segment CM is on the left and segment MB is on the right. From now on, solve for x.

Step 1: Isolate x by itself by subtracting the lesser value

3x + 1 = 5x - 9

-3x -3x the x's on the left cross out

---------------------

1 = 2x - 9

+9 +9 having x on one side

----------------

10 = 2x

__________________________________________________________

Step 2: Divide each side by 2 to get rid of x's coefficient

10 = 2x

/2 /2

----------

5 = x

Solution: x = 5

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Substitute x for both sides since x = 5

3(5) + 1 = side CM

15 + 1 = side CM

16 = side CM

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Solve for the other side (segment MB)

5(5) - 9 = side MB

25 - 9 = side MB

14 = side MB

__________________________________________________________

Solving for CB: Lastly, add up the sides

16 + 14 = segment CB

30 = segment CB

__________________________________________________________

A car rental agency charges 150 per week +0.45 per mile to rent car express the weekly cost to rent a car if as a function of th

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The required function is:

$C(x) = 150+0.45x$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to represent the given scenario as an equation or function

Let x be the number of miles driven in a week

Let C(x) be the function of the number of miles driven

As it is given that charges are 150 per week, these charges are constant so they will be used as it is.

It is also given that the cost of car is 0.45 per mile so for x miles the cost will be:

0.45x

Combining both terms, we get

$C(x) = 150+0.45x$

Hence,

The required function is:

$C(x) = 150+0.45x$

cam lobes are on sale at 4 different grocery stores. which store offers the lowest unit rate for cantaloupes in dollars per poun

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Store 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1. $4.50 for 5 pounds

2. $1/5 for 1/3 pounds

3. $4.00 for 5 pounds

Required

Determine the store with the lowest unit rate

To do this, we simply divide the price by the weights in each store

For Store 1:

$Unit\ Rate = \frac{\$4.50}{5\ lb}$

$Unit\ Rate = \$0.9/lb$

For Store 2:

$Unit\ Rate = \frac{\$1/5}{1/3\ lb}$

$Unit\ Rate = \$0.6/lb$

For Store 3:

$Unit\ Rate = \frac{\$4.00}{5\ lb}$

$Unit\ Rate = \$0.8/lb$

<em>Comparing the unit rates of the three stores, we can conclude that store 2 offers the least unit rate</em>

Use the distributive property and the greatest common factor to rewrite the sum 25 + 60.

Kitty [74]

The factors of 25 and 60 would be 5. 25 divided by 5 is 5 and 60 divided by 5 is 12.

So here is what the distributive property looks like.

a(b+c)=a*b+a*c but we are going to rewrite a*b and a*c as 5*5 and 12* 5

a(b+c)=5*5+12*5

So i'd say its 5*5+5*12 i hope this helps
